the Gospel. This is the first fruits in the
''School of Theology"
On Commencement Day Rev. Joseph R.
Wilson, d. D., Professor of Theology, made
a brief address to his students. The Doc

ture. The students and the audience were
dismissed on Wednesday afternoon with
the blessing of the venerable Chancellor.
